WHAT LYNKINBIO IS
Lynkinbio is a Ghana social-commerce marketplace. Buyers browse KYC-verified stores, order physical goods and in-person services, and pay by Mobile Money (MTN, Vodafone, AirtelTigo) or card via Paystack. Every order is escrow-held: buyer funds are captured by Paystack and released to the seller only after the buyer confirms receipt or the built-in dispute window closes.
SIGN-IN
Buyer and seller flows both require login. Both demo accounts bypass OTP so you can sign in directly with phone + password. Face ID / Touch ID is optional and only activates after a first successful password login on-device.

SAMPLE BUYER FLOW
1. Home tab: featured stores + categories. Scroll.
2. Search tab (magnifier): search "shoes" or "food", open any store.
3. On a store, tap a product, pick a variant if shown, "Add to cart".
4. Cart icon (top right) → "Checkout". You will see the delivery-address selector and the Paystack sheet (MTN / Vodafone / AirtelTigo MoMo + Card). Please do NOT complete a live charge — the demo wallet is unfunded; the sheet only confirms Paystack is invoked. No IAP sheet appears anywhere.
5. Orders tab: past orders + confirm-delivery / open-dispute controls.
6. Wishlist to save items. Profile → Settings → Privacy shows "Delete my data" + "Privacy policy" (Guideline 5.1.1(v)).
SAMPLE SELLER FLOW (log out, sign in with seller demo)
1. Dashboard: today revenue, orders, top products.
2. Orders tab: incoming-orders queue with a sample open order.
3. "+" tab (Add Product): the product-creation form. Camera / Photos are requested here, used only for product photos + KYC.
4. Wallet tab: escrow balance and payout history.
5. More: KYC status, store settings, staff, discounts, campaigns, disputes, analytics.
The demo seller is already on an active plan so all tabs are unlocked; no billing action needed.
WHY THERE IS NO IN-APP PURCHASE (Guideline 3.1.5(a))
Lynkinbio is a marketplace for real-world physical goods (clothing, food, electronics, etc.) and in-person services delivered inside Ghana. Under Guideline 3.1.5(a) ("Goods and Services Outside of the App"), apps selling physical goods or services consumed outside the app must NOT use Apple IAP. All buyer payments are processed externally by Paystack. Lynkinbio does not sell digital content, does not unlock in-app features by purchase, and does not offer any digital subscription to buyers.
REGIONAL SCOPE
Ghana-only. Prices in Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). Delivery across all 16 Ghanaian regions. Reviewing from Cupertino works: the explore surface renders, but store availability, delivery quotes, and payment are geared to Ghanaian addresses and phone numbers (MoMo requires a Ghanaian MSISDN). The demo buyer has an Accra delivery address so checkout renders normally.
